<a href="http://www.mjarchitectes.fr">MJ Architectes</a> convinced their clients to allow them to add a light addition to their family farm house in Marseille, France instead of a heavy new dwelling they asked for. And we're so glad they did. Situated in an agricultural area of the country, La Grange de Mon Père is a very simple <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/timber-home/">timber addition</a> with two gables and a belly full of daylight that juts off the kitchen area of an existing home.
